Iggy Wheelsets

Internal gear hubs are neat. They give you all the
functionality of gears with the simplicity of a single speed drivetrain. Our
Iggy wheelsets use Sturmey Archer hubs and come in a variety of speeds and
wheel sizes.

From a maintenance perspective an internal gear hub makes a lot of sense because the mechanism is sealed from the elements. It’s also allows you to fit a chain guard to protect your pants from med and grease.

Lots of people have put
them on road and track bikes to convert them into more commuter friendly city
bikes. If you happen to have a single speed it’s very simple to add an
internally geared wheel. They also work great on geared bikes when used with a
chain tensioner.
